So today's my last appointment with the surgeon. I have completed everything, and paid for everything. Been calling the office and insurance every other day for the past two weeks. I called the insurance last week they said they have a date and it's the 27th of august which would be awesome but the office hasn't called to confirm that date. So I'm fearful that the date won't be the real date . I need to plan where my kids will be staying and who will be able to help me while I recover. Not being able to pick of my two year old is going to be hard along with good work and laundry. Very annoyed right now...sorry I just had to get that of my chest.

From my experience, the date that was submitted to my insurance company was not the actual date of my surgery. They had to place a date on the paperwork in order to submit. Then after the insurance company approved, I made contact with the surgeon's office and scheduled the "actual" date of the surgery.

Good luck to you, I hope you get a date soon!! ;)

Yes, that is annoying. Keep bugging the office. If they don't respond, don't bathe for a few days and work out in the yard a lot. Then go in. They will pay attention.

It worked for the "bathless bill colector" who once worked in England, showing up at doors in his green fog. He had a 100% success rate. :huh::D

Lick Nuchnuch said, the date submitted to my ins was just a random date. Likley if you have been approved you ill select your date at your visit today. That's how mine was done..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
